The relationship between the energy of X-rays and their wavelength is given by the equation E = hc/λ, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength. According to this relationship, lower energy corresponds to longer wavelengths. Therefore, the longest wavelength of X-rays in this range corresponds to the lowest energy, which is 1 keV.

The Bremsstrahlung Spectrum Is the Range of X-Ray Energies from 1
